Answer 1

Answer: The genotypes of all the possible offspring that could result from the breeding of two rodents that are heterozygous for both traits are BBLL, BBLl, BbLL, BbLl, BBll, Bbll, bbLL, bbLl and bbll. There are 9 possible different genotypes.

Explanation:

The genotype of two rodents that are heterozygous for both traits is BbLl. A dibybrid cross between BbLl and BbLl will produce 16 offsprings with 9 different genotypes.

See the attached punnet square for further illustration of the dibybrid cross
